There is a striking view along the U.S. East Coast.

The 52 Starlink spacecraft were launched by a Falcon 9 rocket. It could be seen at least as far north as Long Island due to the clear conditions.

The first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket fell back to Earth after landing on the "droneship" A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was located in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Starlink megaconstellation is currently signed up customers in remote places. More than 3,400 Starlinks have been sent into space by the company.

The 52 Starlinks were deployed as planned by the upper stage of the falcon 9 Saturday's launch was the company's 43rd mission of the year, making it the company's most successful ever. Its previous high was 31

The company plans to bring up Starlink Version 2 satellites that will be more capable than the current sets. T-Mobile customers will be able to use the V2 satellites via a project called Coverage Above and Beyond.

If the company's plans come to fruition, the V2 satellites will go into space on the giant, next- generation Starship vehicle that will be tasked with deep space, moon and Mars missions. Musk said that the first orbital test flight is likely to happen in November.

Professional and amateur photographers shared their images on social media after the Saturday sunset launch.
